An Ambitious Politician.

H1LIsBoRo, April 1s.-It is now stated
that the true reason why ex.Gov. Pierce
was not appointed president of the uni
yersity at Grand Forks at the recent
meeting Of the regents, has been kept
back. The technical error" In the call,
it is stated by those who claim to be on
the inside, had nothing to do with the
case. The real fact was that Professors
Montgomery, Merrifield and McNee,
three of the ablest members Of the fac
ulty, positively declined to serve under
a Pierce presidency, on the ground that
he was an ambitious politician and in no
sense a college bred man. Whatever
there may be in this story, Pierce was
not elected, and it is asserted the three
Kickiug professors will succeed IN pre-
preventing his election.

The Cranky Commissioner.
Churchs Ferry Sun.


Miss Alice Scott, nov of Larimore,
one Of the first settlers near Churchs
Ferry, came up Thursday in response to
an invitation from Commissions Sparks.
It seems that when Miss Scott proved
up the money was not paid to the land
Office until the day after the proof was
made, a practice very common at that
time. The honorable commissioner
now wishes to know whether the condi-
tons necessary for q successful proof
were the same on the day the money
was rendered as when the proof was
made. In other words, he wants to
know whether the dish rag and other
culinary utensils were in their custom
airy place OF that date.
